So: aussie dating sites are most active in major cities. I have read a lot of contradictory takes on aussie dating sites and would rather hear from people who tried it. the count of accounts actually online is what makes or breaks aussie dating sites for me.

Most of my experience is with free platforms, which may be why I am stuck. The thing people underrate about aussie dating sites is how much the gap between claimed and real users depends on your own city.

Things about aussie dating sites I have not worked out:

  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the aussie dating sites pool near you is thin
  • Message within a day of matching — on aussie dating sites that window closes fast
  • Turn off read receipts on aussie dating sites if the count of accounts actually online is making you anxious about response times

Tell me what actually happened with aussie dating sites are most active in major cities rather than what should happen.

@Jessica Lane makes a fair point about aussie dating sites, but respectfully no — complaints about the count of accounts actually online on aussie dating sites usually come from people who gave it a week. I keep two accounts running to compare local density across the free end of the market, and aussie dating sites sits mid-table.

Honestly, genuine daily activity was less of a problem on aussie dating sites than the sheer time it ate. I judge aussie dating sites by one thing now: whether real activity levels improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

For completeness on aussie dating sites, flurrydate.online, turndate.site get mentioned a lot too.

Connor Price is right about one part of aussie dating sites: different experience on aussie dating sites, where real activity levels turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. Most of the noise about aussie dating sites comes from people measuring the count of accounts actually online over far too short a window.

If local density is your main worry with aussie dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Nobody warns you that the count of accounts actually online on aussie dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours. Whatever you pick, judge aussie dating sites on local deadness after a month rather than after a weekend.

Anyone comparing aussie dating sites on the count of accounts actually online should probably add Datebound to the list.

That feels too harsh on aussie dating sites, given genuine daily activity is a problem across no-payment dating sites rather than specific to it.

Nobody warns you that genuine daily activity on aussie dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours. There is no version of aussie dating sites where genuine daily activity sorts itself out without you doing something.

I read Ray Hudson's reply on aussie dating sites and this matches what I found with aussie dating sites, where the gap between claimed and real users is exactly where it falls down.

If the gap between claimed and real users is your main worry with aussie dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Chris_A and I've clearly used aussie dating sites differently, because seconding this, because on aussie dating sites the honest answer is that genuine daily activity varies enormously by area. What changed my results on aussie dating sites was treating real activity levels as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

If genuine daily activity is your main worry with aussie dating sites, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Not saying aussie dating sites suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

The other one I would try before giving up on aussie dating sites is Flurrydate.

Disagree, because blaming the gap between claimed and real users lets you off the hook — my aussie dating sites results improved when my profile did. The pattern I see with aussie dating sites is that local deadness is fine early and degrades as you go.

Nobody warns you that local density on aussie dating sites scales with how many people are online at your hours. The thing people underrate about aussie dating sites is how much genuine daily activity depends on your own city. Take that as one data point on aussie dating sites rather than a recommendation.

I keep Datebie open as a control while testing aussie dating sites — useful for judging the gap between claimed and real users honestly.
